Hi Stephen,
A friend of mine had a similar problem. He finally suggested something like the
following
# pnpdump > /etc/isapnp.conf
# isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf
you might have to do something LIKE (i don't remember)
# insmod ne io=<whatever> irq=<whatever>
I think you shouldn't have to specify irq but again, i don't know what i'm talking
about.
There might be more to it, i'm not sure. Read the man pages on those two items. It
should be easy
though, as he was following instructions in a language he didn't understand - and
although he's a
smart guy, he's also a linux newbie.
Sorry for the incomplete help. They're just thoughts to get you started.
